    Dragic is a good player, but Lowry should be the starting PG. I think it would be a terrible mistake to give up Lowry just so they can keep Dragic.

    I just hope they trade him for a good player that we actually need in return and not just garbage like we know how to do...

    Not if we get a good pick in return.

    His assist are high and his turnovers are low, it looks to me like he is making good decisions.

    I like the way Bud played the second half of the season, I like him coming off of the bench.

    Why isn't this getting more attention? This is so spot on.

    I agree Dragic needs to stay and lowry should go but it's so weird to compare my feelings about this issue from the beginning of the season to now. I thought Lowry WAS the team. Those buzzer beaters and toughness and everything. I think Dragic is better but whichever team picks Lowry up is getting one hell of a player.

    I like Bud ... his production to cost is very high and his defense has gotten better by leaps and bounds. When he is able to come off the bench he usually plays well .... dont like him starting but he would be a solid piece to any good team.


    As for Lowry , I love the way he plays the game .... I'd hate to see him in another uniform but under the right circumstances , I'd give him up to improve the team.
    Of all the current Rockets , Lowry has the highest trade value.

    Being able to plug Dragic into that spot in place of Lowry would make for an easy transition ....


    In a perfect world , you could keep both .... I just dont see that happening and from the way I see things , I dont think Lowry and McHale are on the same page. All signs point to an exit for Lowry ....


    As a previous poster said , the team who ends up with Lowry (or Dragic for that matter) is getting a hell of a player.

    It's not getting more attention because each time it has made sense to move the previous guy. Rafer was never that good. Brooks was a good player but Lowry is a better distributor and defender. At this point I will admit that it is up for debate about who the better pg is between Dragic and Lowry, but since we can only get something in return for one of them it makes sense to keep the one that we can't trade.

    I don't remember our team going to complete **** while Lowry was the starting PG... I don't remember Dragic ever making the top 10 on the NBA MVP ladder.

    Just sayin. Dragic is a great player, but it's disgusting how quick some people have turned on Lowry after how great of a season he was having before his sickness.

    I have to agree - they both have their merits. I think when all is said and done , they are fairly equal players tho both have different strengths.

    What canyouget for Dragic - You lose him for nothing.

    What can youget for Lowry ? Thats a real good question - One we will have to wait to see answered.

    I think Dragics man defense is superior to Lowry's while Lowry's team defense is superior to Dragics .... depends uponwhat youask them to do.

    I havent turned on Lowry , I love the way he plays the game .... what it comes down to is as the previo0us poster pointed out , what does one net you over the other. (yes , thats treating them as assets).

    Let Dragic walk and sign Steve Nash. Trade Kyle if we can get something of value in return, if not then just let him backup Nash.

    It feels terrible to be trading Lowry since he's done so much for us but Gogi needs a chance to start. Signing Llull would be a great thing to do. Lowry can fetch us a good piece if we package Scola with him since a lot of teams need a quality PG

    No one has turned on Kyle. It is mostly about business. You have two of the same player. Trade the one you can trade for better picks in a deep draft. Just business.

    Lord Daryl "Littlefinger" Morey doesn't care what assets like Camby and Scola think.

    He wants to starters role. So will Lowry make the sacrifice? What if Lowry says no, do they trade Lowry?

    Need to get him back at all costs. Number 1 priority.
